What area of New Blood are you suggesting this for?
Zombie Survival
What is your suggestion and how will it work?
Players will be able to use a command called /favorite [map]. The map will then show on /whois that [map] is their favorite. The amount of favorites a map has can be shown in /mi [map]
There could also be a way to implement a "preferred map" option. Perhaps favorited maps can have a higher chance of appearing on the map voting time.
What are the advantages of your suggestion?
It can be used to show what maps people like, and their play-style. Maps that have more favorites are also obviously more popular.
Sounds like an interesting idea, would for once add something new to the /whois and /mapinfo information. I would imagine that it shouldn't be all too difficult to implement.
inb4 90% of the players picks nothing as their favorite map

I like this idea!! How about a small bb reward if someone chooses your map as their favourite? For example if I choose 6course as my favourite map then Toby would get 2 bloodbags or something? You could cap the amount of times /favourite is used in a day or in a week to stop people abusing it

I like this idea, but my only concern is that if favorited maps get played more often then it's gonna get a little annoying imo, plus it would decrease chances of new maps (in trial for example) being picked and played in. Other than that, I like this and I think it would be very cool to see some statistics in game such as the ammount of favorited votes per map or a top for most favorited maps.
I kind of agree with gdssdg on this. It would likely lead to maps never being played.
Perhaps only one of the suggested maps is a map that is picked from the online players' favourites? It would be possible but probably take some time to implement and still risk other maps not being played

I personally feel that the map voting system is fair as it is and shouldn't be touched. On the other hand, including a favourite map in someone's /i sounds reasonable, and could be analogous to your anthem on Tinder.
After considering this, we will semi-approve this.
Adding a /favourite command will be useful to map makers by helping them find which maps are most enjoyed.
As for the "preferred map" voting change, this will most likely cause a number of issues. Most notably causing issues with trials and maps of a lower rating to rarely appear.
